Item Connecting and Empowering Library Publishers: An International Knowledge Exchange(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2020-03) Buggle, Jane; O'Neill, Marie; IFLA Library Publishing Special Interest GroupThe 2020 mid-term meeting was held at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway in March 2020, chaired by Lars Egeland. This event explored in greater depth themes discussed in Dublin whilst also introducing newer topics. Library publishing (including new-model university presses housed in libraries) is a growing activity in many countries around the world. The IFLA SIG aims to bring together experienced practitioners and would-be publishers to build communities of practice, to share information, and advance this exciting field of endeavor. New and emerging library publishers will gain insight into the experiences and practices of established presses, and all attendees will learn from new and innovative approaches. All the presentations and the ensuing discussions will advance the excellence and sustainability of library publishing ventures. The aim of the event was to bring together a broad spectrum of publishing programs, to exchange knowledge, present good practice, and to foster networks and mentoring relationships among library publishers at all stages, also highlighting the important role that the Library Publishing Coalition and the IFLA SIG play in this regard. The SIG meeting also invited participation by library schools and others engaged in efforts to educate the next generation of library publishers.Item Digital Access to LRC services and resources during COVID-19 Pandemic - Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University LRC Experience(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-09-20) Abdulla, Mohamed A.; Zingapan, Elvira A.This study aims to discuss digital access to the Learning Resources Center services and resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PMU LRC’s response on the pandemic situation during the periods of closure concerning resources and services is discussed and analyzed. The LRC implements new virtual services and expands the electronic resources to ensure that the PMU community is able to access the resources and information that they needed. The LRC makes efforts to gain access to their digital and physical collections as well as to provide their services remotely, with the transformation of teaching from traditional style to distance learning. There are several virtual initiatives that LRC has taken to promote digital access to the library resources and to make LRC services more efficient while challenging to deliver access to information with library closure. The researchers also examine the changes that PMU library has made to library services throughout the year 2020.Item Development of Resource Sharing Services at Helsinki University Library(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-09-20) Kähö, Elina; Leppämäki, JuhaBackground: In 2019 the ILL services at Helsinki University Library were spread across many systems: web forms, a ticket management system, an in-house ILL software and Voyager. The systems were not communicating with each other. Information was copied manually between them. Patrons could not see interlibrary loans in the library system. Invoices were created manually. Helsinki University Library migrated from Voyager to Ex Libris Alma in 2020. Testing Alma resource sharing started the same year. The aim was to find out if we could replace the various ILL components with Alma. Initial results were promising, and we started a development project to implement Alma’s resource sharing functions in 2021. Implementation: We set up a resource sharing library in Alma that serves all our libraries on different campuses. Alma user records for libraries as well as records from in-house ILL system were converted into resource sharing partner records using Alma API. ILL request forms were replaced with two new forms. The Primo resource sharing form is used for borrowing requests. For lending requests, we created a form for libraries. The form uses Alma API to send lending requests directly to Alma. Bilingual resource sharing letters (Finnish and English) were configured for email communication in Alma. Alma Analytics is used for reporting and collecting statistics. We are working to create invoices automatically based on the reports from Alma analytics.Item Qatar National Library’s efforts in opening up Qatar’s research output - A step towards a global open access transformation(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-09-20) Alkhaja, Alwaleed K.What if libraries can have access to all content? Furthermore, what if this access is immediate once a new issue, journal, article, or book is published? This question is perhaps something that many librarians have wondered about or at least wished to have. It is probably not possible yet explaining the necessity still for interlibrary loan and document delivery services (ILDS) in many libraries worldwide.Item Access services shifts in Azerbaijani academic libraries during COVID-19 - The case of ADA University Library(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-11-29) Mammadov, Elchin C.The COVID-19 pandemic made a unsuspected long-term strike to the academic library environment in Azerbaijan as well as elsewhere in the early spring of 2020. In particular, the consumption of physical resources (collections, facilities, etc.) was experienced via campus closures, budget cuts, strict quarantine requirements, enforced social distancing, etc. This article examines the respond of Azerbaijani academic libraries to the COVID-19 pandemic in the case of ADA University Library. The similarities and contrast of actions brought to the fore in against to global experience. The role of online information resources access, exchange, ILL and Electronic Document Delivery during pandemic is specifically investigated.

Multititle solutions were implemented including online circulation and reference services, preparation of online tutorials, strengthening institutional repository with open access resources and organization of usage, full utilization of electronic ILL and Document Delivery services. Moreover, services like consultation, technical, experience sharing support to partner universities and institutions were organized. The author also outlines the role of long-term strategic view of ADA university leadership, that before Pandemic the library passed through successful digital transformations being ready for uncertainties.Item COVID-19 and open science - Analysis of evidence and trends to delivery and share information(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-12-02) Palma Peña, Juan MiguelThe current situation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic responsible for Covid-19 highlights the development and implementation of multiple theoretical and empirical actions of an informative nature in which delivery and sharing data and scholarly outputs are in the focus of global attention. The opening of the research outputs is articulated so that the FAIR principles of location, accessibility, interoperability and reuse allow informational resources financed with public funds to be delivery and shared for the resolution of the current social phenomenon and to give continuity to educational and cultural activities political, scholarly, among others.Item Designing TALARIA - A New Software to Support Resource Sharing of International Communities(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2022-12-02) Mangiaracina, Silvana; Mazza, Debora; Kahaleh, Rabih; Tugnoli, AlessandroIn 2020, the COVID-19 situation forced academic libraries to move exclusively to the Web. To respond to the COVID emergency, in April 2020 a group of librarians under the aegis of IFLA created “Resource Sharing during COVID-19” (RSCVD): the first experiment in free digital resource sharing worldwide. RSCVD is based on the voluntary contribution of hundreds of librarians around the world, who worked with the tools available at that moment in order to share documents held in their libraries with the world academic community. After the success of this initiative in the face of the COVID emergency, the Erasmus Plus Programme, through the HERMES project, gives us the opportunity to design a new Resource Sharing software platform for the RSCVD international community. TALARIA software is being designed to support library communities in their resource sharing (RS) management. We aim to build a flexible platform to support different needs and policies of a RS community. Librarians will have access to the RSCVD international community when they have to locate very difficult resources, those RS requests that they are not able to find in their usualItem Theft and Trafficking of Documentary Heritage: Key considerations and challenges [Slides](International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-02-27) McGuire, Claire; International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA)On 15 February 2023, IFLA joined partners from ICOM to celebrate the launch of the ICOM Red List for Brazil and spotlight key considerations for countering the theft and trafficking of documentary heritage.Item NWU Artificial Intelligence Symposium 2023(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-09-05) North-West University; IFLA Information Technology Section Standing Committee; IFLA Artificial Intelligence Special Interest GroupSpeakers List for NorthWest University (South Africa) Artificial Intelligence Symposium on 1-3 March 2023Item Informal Adult Education in the Library: a Tool for Community Building(International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), 2023-12-21) Švedienė, VirginijaNon-formal education is an important area of activity of Lithuanian public libraries as they are the place where the lifelong learning is promoted and people can improve their cultural, digital literacy and social competences.
